Hell to Play

VINYL FORMAT. The Whines transcend the lo-fi tag with real, honest songs that are not hipster genre exercises or an act of desperate trend hopping. Hell to Play is a major leap forward in fidelity and songwriting from their 7-inch. Anchored by Karianne's hypnotic voice and basslines and colored by Jesse's raw guitar and Bobby's primitive drumming. Tracks were recorded alternately by Rob & Rod from Eat Skull with one track recorded by Kyle from Meth Teeth and two tracks recorded by the band. This LP brings to mind things like Neil Young, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Dead Moon and Cheater Slicks filtered through contemporary ears/minds. Sequenced like a classic album with moody rock songs, melted psych garage tunes and strange, haunting heartbreakers. Play this over and over. You will be rewarded.
